Attorney Jason A. Harris has spent more than 16 years representing Arizona clients in personal injury cases involving cars, trucks, and rideshare vehicles. He is one of the few attorneys in the state who regularly handles both personal injury and workers’ compensation claims, giving him a unique dual perspective when handling complex cases involving serious bodily injury and lost wages.
Jason has extensive experience representing clients in personal injury and third-party liability claims. His in-depth understanding of insurance coverage, particularly how rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft assign responsibility depending on the time of the accident (ride request, en route, or transporting passengers), helps him build a strong case and advocate on behalf of his clients.
Rideshare crashes in Mesa often result from:
Distracted driving (texting or using the rideshare app)
Drowsy or fatigued rideshare drivers working long hours
Speeding or reckless driving
Unsafe left turns or failure to yield
Rear-end collisions near pickup or drop-off zones
Collisions with pedestrians, cyclists, or other vehicles
Mesa’s major corridors, such as Country Club Drive, Main Street, and Southern Avenue, see high volumes of rideshare vehicles, increasing the potential for rideshare accidents involving both passengers and other motorists.
Although Uber and Lyft accident data is not tracked separately by city, official transportation data for Mesa and Arizona reveals the broader risks faced by motorists and rideshare drivers on local roads.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), Arizona recorded 119,991 total motor vehicle crashes in 2023, including 1,178 fatalities and over 52,000 injury crashes. Many occurred in Maricopa County, where Mesa is located, reflecting the heavy presence of rideshare services and urban traffic density.
The City of Mesa 2023 Annual Crash Report recorded 41 fatal crashes citywide, with 18 of those involving intersections. More than half (55%) of all roadway crashes involved pedestrians or bicyclists, posing additional hazards for rideshare vehicles navigating dense urban areas.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) identifies speeding, driver distraction, and impaired driving as leading contributors to fatal crashes nationwide, factors that frequently appear in rideshare accident cases.
Finally, the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reports that rideshare usage has grown steadily in metropolitan areas across Arizona. This rise means more independent contractors on Mesa’s roads, increasing the likelihood of crashes during ride requests or passenger trips.
Together, these findings show that while rideshare accidents may represent a small portion of all collisions, their legal complexity, due to layered insurance coverage and multiple liable parties, makes skilled legal representation essential.
If you were injured in a rideshare accident, understanding your legal rights is critical.
Liable Parties: Depending on the time of the accident, responsibility may rest with the rideshare driver, the rideshare company, or another motorist.
Insurance Coverage: When the driver is logged off, personal auto insurance applies. When logged in and waiting for a ride request, contingent insurance policies from Uber or Lyft may cover damages. During active rides, their commercial insurance can provide up to $1 million in liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage.
Damages You May Recover: Victims may pursue medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and, in tragic cases, wrongful death damages.
Statute of Limitations: Under Arizona law, most personal injury cases must be filed within two years of the collision.
Because insurance companies often dispute claims or undervalue settlements, having a dedicated rideshare accident attorney helps ensure your rights are protected throughout the process.
